HYTE - Y40 ATX Mid-Tower PC Case - Snow White

Perfect for a build. Easy S tier for aesthetics. Super easy to build upon, as well. Plenty of space for cable management and components. Would highly recommend. Also huge win for vertical GPU mount

I wanted to redesign and upgrade my secondary PC which my daughter uses for gaming so I decided to build out an all AMD rig with a vertical mount so she could play Hogwarts at max settings at 1440p. After much research, I settled on the Hyte Y40. It has turned out to be a decent case but with a few problems. Material quality is definitely a step above average and the case itself is very sturdy. Building in it is pretty easy and straight forward and I love that the front, top and back just pop off and on. One thing I noticed is the exhaust fan was very loud. No matter what I did outside of slowing it down greatly, it was audibly louder than all the other fans. I ended up removing it and the lower intake fan and replacing the case fan with an aRGB 120mm and the intake with an aRGB 140mm. Another issue is one many case makers make and that is a lack of depth in the rear of the case for thicker cables to lay down easily and snap the back on especially if you have longer/thicker cables, hubs, accessories or more. It's crazy what even another inch would do overall. Lastly, and the biggest problem, was the riser card. This was installed with an Asus B650 Prime motherboard and no matter what I did the card would not sit fully in the PCIe slot because it didn't have enough depth before the screw down slat was flush with the rear screw bracket and bottom latch. I ended up having to detach it and readjust it and let it float a bit to fit in properly and now the screw down portion is about 1/4" above the screw hole instead of flush. Doing some searches shows I'm not alone in this problem with the riser implementation and most likely it is a seating issue with the PCI card->motherboard. Some have also had issues with the actual GPU mounting too. Now that everything is up and running, I DO like the looks and visuals of the case very much and it turned out exactly like I thought it would but the loud fan(s), poor QC on the PCIe riser and yet again lack of cable depth in the back for easier runs has me on the fence overall with this case.

Great case not as roomy as y60 but still plenty of room for an easy build pure white really pops.

My HYTE Y40 case is fantastic! It looks so clean and has intricate designs across the sides. The cost might seem a little high but it's honestly worth it here. It comes with a free riser cable, usually $50 for a good one. I was worried about shipping problems because of all the tempered glass but everything is packaged VERY securely from HYTE. Can't wait to build my PC in this case!

best case for vertical mounted GPU, plentiful space for even the biggest cards to breath, second time using this case for a build and probably won’t be the last so long as they are available, a breeze to build in and looks amazing!

Its a great cade to work with that has plenty of cable management space for your build. Best thing to do will be to replace the fans it comes with since they are 3 pin and will be a little noisy.

Nice looking case with nice temps. Great cable management, well done HYTE!!!

Roomy for a mid tower. Easy for cable management. Makes for a very clean build.
